 It's alrightJun 22, 2008
By Virginia P
I bought the tent to use on small trips in the Adirondacks. Considering the price it was a fairly good deal. It is easy to set up and dismantle in just a few minutes. The full rain-fly is nice as well. There are a few problems, however. The tent is rather small for two people with equipment typically carried while backpacking. If you have a large pack, you'll have to leave it outside- or hope it fits in the vestibule. My boyfriend is a little over 6 feet tall and he had to sleep at a slight diagonal due to the dimensions of the footprint. The vestibules themselves are usefull for leaving small items outside (while still having them protected), like dirty boots. My main concern with this tent are the fiberglass poles. I set the tent up once to see it before using it. I used the tent once after that and the firberglass was actually bending, not just flexing, but creased. The third time I set it up, one section of pole broke. No unecessary force or strain was used that would have caused it to break.
It's not very compact thought I suppose it could be, but is fairly lightweight. The tent itself is nice and the fly kept moisture out. I would suggest purchasing aluminum poles if possible, as they are sturdier and more lightweight. I give this tent a 3 because it would be great for solo trips, had the poles been a better quality.

Problem polesAug 18, 2008

I completely agree with the previous review. It's a nice little tent if you're not very tall. Two people can sleep in it but there's no room for any gear whatsoever, and the fiberglass poles split after only one season of mild use. I have found it very difficult to find poles that will fit this tent in most outfitters and have resorted to purchasing aluminum poles on-line so I can continue using the tent. Given the hassles I've had with it, if I had it to do over I'd spend more and buy a tent made by a more well-known manufacturer.

Hyper Lite II TestedApr 07, 2007

Good buy for the price. Survived heavy thunderstorms and winds with minimal seepage. vestibule added feeling of extra security although small for 2 persons and not so light as the name would have you think.

 Star watchingNov 15, 2008

I am 6'2" and found this tent to be exactly the right length for me. I spent a weekend looking up at the stars while snug in this tent. It comfortably held my single air mattress. When I lay on my back, with the screen flap closed but the other flaps open, the shape of the tent allowed me to look straight up at the stars. It was WONDERFUL.
The tent went up easily, put it up myself. It packs up easily as well. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a one person tent. Perhaps it would hold two but it would be pretty tight. With the single air mattress, I had enough room to the side to store my clothes and such.

Great bang for the buck. Perfect for one 6' person and gear.Jul 11, 2010
By J. Dove
I bought this for a recent trip to Europe where I spent a week in the English countryside. Didn't want to spend a ton since I was going to leave it there after the trip but definitely needed something comfortable that didn't leak (doesn't make sense to give the airlines $50 for an extra bag to send back a $50 tent). It's no mountaineering tent, but for a $50 Chinese tent it's surprisingly good. Ergonomic and streamlined when set up (setup is a breeze) it handled all the wind and rain summertime northern England could throw at me and kept everything warm and dry. It's easy to open with one hand, the zippers are decent, and it kept all the bugs out fine. I was worried it might be a bit short but my 77" long Therm-A-Rest pad fit fine lengthwise with a couple inches to spare and there was enough room beside me for a duffel bag and small backpack. Highly recommend you set it up first and waterproof it before going on an adventure to make sure all is well, nothing is defective and it doesn't end up leaking.
The poles are okay for a $50 tent but 2 of the connecting rods didn't fit together easily and took a lot of shoving to get them to assemble. The stakes are cheap aluminum and bend really easily, but fortunately they supply 4 or 5 more than you need so you have spares. The floor is like a thick garbage bag and likely won't stand up to being scraped on rocks without tearing. If you're going to make this your workhorse tent at least invest in better poles and stakes, or just buy a better tent. Worked fine for my purpose though and was a great choice and perfect size for a summertime 1 person disposable tent. They were nice enough to let me store it at the campsite and it should be fine for another week should I go back.
